UKGamer.net has posted their review on one of the most original and innovative Gold Finger devices on the market, Outside Loop´s Afterburner. The main difference of this device from the others is that it doesn´t have Jumpers or DIP switches, but dials that you turn. While this sounds a bit odd, the dials are a good improvement in usability and make changes much easier. This has to be one of the easiest ways to overclock your Athlon.



The striking difference between the Afterburner and other Gold Finger devices is that there is no sign of DIP switches, instead there are three dials, one to control the Core Voltage and the other two to adjust the clock frequency. I found this to be much better than DIP switches because the dials can be turned easily without the Afterburner always being taken off the CPU (ok ok I´m a lazy bast). However the fact is I was able to change the settings without taking the CPU or the Afterburner in and out, so it is much quicker to adjust if your computer does not agree with new settings.
